Sometimes events happen that push me to pick out a show for the
Deadpod that I hadn't been thinking about at all.. such happened
this week - first the newest "Road Trips" Release - Nov. 15, 1971
from Austin Texas arrived in my mailbox - I don't often gush over
these but this is a good one! At about the same time a series of
new releases on the tape collecting scene from legendary collector
Charlie Miller - including this beauty from a legendary night at
the Fillmore East in New York City, April 27th 1971. While this
night is best known for the second set we'll hear next week (when
the boys are joined on stage by the Beach Boys) - this first set
has some mighty fine playing on it - including what is arguably the
best "Hard To Handle" you'll find..
